Battlestar Dallas

2010 har Sci-Fi channel byggt klart på sin nya storsatsning inom Battlestar Galactica-franschisen. Serien heter Caprica och såhär står det om vad vi kan vänta oss:

Set 50 years before "Battlestar Galactica," "Caprica" follows two rival families -- the Graystones and the Adamas -- as they grow, compete, and thrive in the vibrant world of the 12 Colonies, a society recognizably close to our own. Enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics. "Caprica" will deliver all of the passion, intrigue, political backbiting and family conflict in television’s first science fiction family saga. As the series begins, a startling development is about to occur -- the creation of the first cybernetic life-form node or "Cylon" -- the ability to marry artificial intelligence with mechanical bodies. Joseph Adama (Morales) -- father of future "Battlestar" commander William Adama (Najafi) -- a renowned civil liberties lawyer, becomes an opponent of the experiments undertaken by the Graystones (Stoltz), owners of a large computer corporation that is spearheading the development of these living robots: the Cylons.

Alltså, de tydliga kopplingarna till Ewings vs Barnes och hela såpagenren i allmänhet, jag vet inte riktigt vad jag ska tänka. Jag är inte direkt ett jättestort fan av Deep Space Babylon 5-serier. När skaparna dessutom claimar att Caprica ska vara ""Not as dark as 'Battlestar'" blir jag ju lite fundersam. Jag vill ju helst att de ska säga "Even darker!"
